The second game of the final series came to CSKA harder. But in the end Ettore Messina squad manage to secure the win.

CSKA vs. Khimki: 74-66

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

- As you know it is extremely difficult to win the second game in a row when you play the next day. In the first half we did not play smart, we could not match Khimki intensity and started to run which is not usual for our team. We lost the offensive rebounds to Khimki. Of course, quick fouls f Smodis were a problem for us but it did not mean all the other players should not come to rebound. In the second half we played our style game. We moved the ball, controlled the rebounds and protect Khimki open shots.
